At least des has realised the pdc need to be followed, imitated. The pathetic 'proper darts ' comment by Sue now laud to rest
hope paddy, oche, moongoose and the rest of the loyal family meets are going to be okay with the final piece of the 'bdo turning into the pdc ' jigsaw being put into place (though prize fund, sponsors, professional leadership, etc need to be copied yet).

If anyone thinks for one minute that the BDO can ever achieve a tenth of the success the PDC enjoys then they need to go and see a shrink.devosteve wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 10:29 pmAt least des has realised the pdc need to be followed, imitated.

The Premier League crowds are 10k+. For WDT 500 a session which is 5%, would be fantastic. Most here are betting it’s less than 500 in total across all 6 sessions.
People these days to go to live events want to be entertained and have a party. That’s not the atmosphere old school BDO fans want but they’re not turning up just sitting at home moaning. For other “sports” even 2nd tier promoters can draw crowds with the right product. There’s clips on YouTube of British promoted wrestling (as they like calling it it’s sports entertainment). It’s not the Premier League of the WWE (or PDC) but they get a few thousand at events with a rocking party atmosphere crowd.

What about some helpful comments on how the BDO can generate the party atmosphere they promise in their flyer.ChrisW wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 10:58 pm3 out of 6 so far.malcy93 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 10:49 pmBut they don’t need even 10%.ILAD wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 10:34 pmIf anyone thinks for one minute that the BDO can ever achieve a tenth of the success the PDC enjoys then they need to go and see a shrink.devosteve wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 10:29 pmAt least des has realised the pdc need to be followed, imitated.

If they get a session 200+ in there I be surprised this late tickets going on sale but if they did that won’t look as bad on tv as last year event did
I don’t expect that many Friday afternoon session but on pdc Europe tour is the same it weather the other sell enough

Re: 6th BDO World Darts Trophy 30 Aug - 1 Sep Blackburn
Missed all the fun yesterday. Des seems liable to make' mistakes' when announcing info. Paula must have sorted him out on the sunbed yesterday.
Good news that ticket counting is back on !! I have a mind to email back the woman who told me they would not be sold via the ticket office , but I guess the bdo changed their mind when they realised literally no one would come if they tried to sell them all by themselves, hence the delay until monday.
Which of course also means less time to sell tickets than even Sue managed!

Indeed...Sue had a full 6 weeks to sell the Welsh cinema, only going to be 5.5 weeks here. Shambles.

Never mind emailing King George. What's your guess in the sweep

I'm going to be bold and predict the 1000 barrier will be broken - I have faith in my Blackburn based cousins.
